St. Tropez...lotion, mousse, or spray?

I am pregnant and cannot (and don't want to) use tanning beds this summer...I know I will get sun though, and even with sunscreen I will end up getting a tan line. (halter top)

I want a quick tan that will last a couple days for each of the weddings, especially the one in late August when I know I will have tan lines. (The other one is next Saturday.) Which of these products do you think I should get? I know it depends on my preference; to be honest, I haven't used self-tanner since high school 10+ years ago so I don't know my preference.

I actually used to use the mousse and loved it but it didn't stay on very long and I would loose the darkness of it within a couple of days. I did everything as far as exfoliating really good and keeping moisturized as well. But I noticed they came out with the dark range also.

Another vote for the Mousse and Mitt! I've been using St. Tropez Bronzing Mousse for years, and I recommend it to everybody! I love how it dries quickly so you don't have to wait too long to get dressed, and it looks so natural. I used to just use disposable gloves to apply it, but finally got the mitt, and now I can't go without it. It's awesome! -Laura

I also like the One Night Only Instant Glow Body Lotion for touch ups. It's good when you do not feel like putting another coat of bronze and just want to head out the door! It says one night only but its lasted longer than that a few times that I applied it.

Re: St. Tropez...lotion, mousse, or spray?

I just did my first application of the mousse...I applied it on my back and just covered everywhere, but couldn't rub it in so that there were no more streaks, but the bottle says that you will only get patches where you don't put the product, so here's hoping it all looks great when I take a shower tomorrow morning!

I have one more application planned tomorrow night and then the wedding is Saturday.

Re: St. Tropez...lotion, mousse, or spray?

I am glad I have one more night to fix mistakes...I didn't exfoliate well enough and my knees are dark, and my ankles/sides of feet look crazy where I stopped putting it on, it's streaky there, as well as my underwrists. I wore gloves and then applied the tanner to the back of my hands with a makeup sponge, watered down, but I guess I forgot about making sure my wrists were covered to my palm.

All in all, it looks good in the spots that are most important for the wedding...arms, decollate, neck, and face. I put it on my face with a watered down makeup sponge as well. I'm hoping I have this down for my sister's wedding in August, where the dress is tea length and not a gown!

I have used the mousee (with the mit, the mit is crucial) and it works great. It is easy to apply, and gives a natural streak free tan. I have tried lotions from other brands, but no matter what lotion I use, it always streaks no matter how much i rub it in or how careful I am. I have tried sprays from other brands, but again I have issues with streaking.
